In November 1990, Congress passed Public Law 101-646, the Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protect and Restoration Act (CWPPRA). The Act directed that a task force consisting of five federal agencies and the state of Louisiana develop a "comprehensive approach to restore and prevent the loss of coastal wetlands."
CWPPRA has been the State of Louisiana's primary tool for responding to coastal wetland losses. CWPPRA emphasizes intergovernmental cooperation. As of March 2013, there are 196 authorized CWPPRA projects, 100 have been constructed, 13 are under construction, and 38 have been de-authorized or transferred to another program. The remaining projects are in various stages of planning and design.
The CWPPRA program is managed by the CWPPRA Task Force. The Task Force is composed of the State of Louisiana and five federal agencies: the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), NOAA-National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). The Governor's Office of Coastal Activities represents the state of Louisiana and the Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority (CPRA) serves as the local cost share partner for projects.
NRCS is the federal sponsor for 66 CWPPRA projects affecting 526,612 acres of Louisiana's valuable coastal wetlands. Construction has been completed on 39 projects. Restoration projects with NRCS as the federal sponsor include:
Natural Resources Facts:
Louisiana's coastal wetlands are a national treasure. The wetlands:
Support and protect a multi-billion dollar oil and gas industry.
Provide nursery grounds for fish and shellfish for much of the nation's seafood.
Protect over 400 million tons of waterborne commerce annually.
Provide winter habitat for about one-half of the Mississippi Flyway waterfowl population.
Serve as a buffer from hurricanes and storms.
The following proceedings are from the November 14, 2008 Symposium on Current Status of Coastal Wetland Plants Research and Restoration Efforts. Coastal wetland disappearance has been a major issue in Louisiana for more than a decade. Efforts are underway to develop superior and highly adaptive native coastal plants, seed-based technologies for large-scale restoration, and innovative engineering revegetation techniques. These plant-based products and revegetation technologies are being developed by several laboratories and could be tailored into current construction engineering to develop more successful coastal wetland loss remediation. The magnitude of Louisiana coastal marsh loss is unprecedented and occurs at the estimated rates of 65-91 km2 annually, representing 80% of the entire coastal wetland loss in the United States.

"My daughter and nephew both graduating high school. They wanted a combined party. This invite was perfect. Was able to fit both of their pictures on one side and used the other side for the party specifics. Liked the "casualness" of the card. Looked fun yet classy. Both seniors approved my choice Considering I had a male and a female to appease. I procrastinated too long so had to pay for expedited shipping. Mercy pleased with my order and would use them again"
"Beautiful quality. Elequent but not formal. It works with a variety of photos. Our photographer was so impresses with the quality that he said he plans to use Tiny Prints for his future products."
"I absolutely loved the way my son's graduation announcement came out. The format and square card with rounded corners was unique and different than any others that our friends and family received. The photo and printing quality were amazing and the card stock used created a final product that,hands-down, was of far better quality than the other "flimsy" ones that we were receiving from others. They arrived a day before they were scheduled to, and the modified rectangular envelopes also added a unique touch to their final presentation. Absolutely Fabulous all the way around!!"
"Love these cards! They look even better on paper than online. My daughter described them as "perfect" and "classy". We are both very pleased with the result."
"I ordered this for my sister's college graduation dinner invitations. It was very elegant and looked beautiful with her pictures in it. She is a photographer and added a few that she had taken along with a picture of her. I also added a picture to the back with a note to all the family thanking them for their love and support. I think that really make the card complete. My only complaint is that I couldn't find matching thank you cards, but that might just be me. Overall a great and classy pick."

The problem is only a few Amtrak routes allow passengers to bring their bicycles on board unless they are boxed up like luggage.
This report, however, finds "Amtrak is seeing increased demand for walk-on bike service across the United States."
The good news for Anniston and bike tourism is, "Steve Kulm, a spokesman for Amtrak, said the agency is looking for opportunities to retrofit train cars to allow more convenient bike transport."

One morning early in February, 1917, Gerhard Scholem, a tall, jug-eared, acutely bookish young man of nineteen, sat at breakfast with his parents in their comfortable Berlin apartment. It was an hour of family crisis. Gerhard, the youngest of four sons, was the only one still living at home. The three others had all been conscripted for the Kaiser's war. Reinhold and Erich were solid German patriots like their father; Reinhold went so far as to call himself, in right-wing lingo, a Deutschnationaler—a German nationalist. Werner, Gerhard's senior by two years, was a hothead and a leftist—he later became a committed Communist. He had been wounded in the foot in the Serbian campaign and was recuperating in an Army hospital. Limping, wearing his uniform, he abandoned his bed and made his way to an antiwar demonstration. He was arrested and charged with treason.
Over the uneaten pastries, yet another brand of treason was brewing. Gerhard had declared himself to be a Zionist, and was openly preparing for emigration to Palestine. Two years earlier, exposed as the author of an antiwar flyer circulated by a Zionist youth group, he had been expelled from high school. Arthur Scholem, the paterfamilias of this opinionated crew (half of them mutinous), could do nothing about Werner, who was in the hands of the military. But Gerhard was near enough to feel his father's rage, and Arthur Scholem had devised a punishment of Prussian thoroughness. A businessman, he was demanding, authoritarian, uncompromising, practical above all; he presided over a successful printing enterprise and a household that could keep both a cook and a maid. At Christmas, there was an elaborately decorated tree, surrounded by heaps of presents. When Gerhard was fourteen, he found under the tree a framed portrait of Theodor Herzl, the founder of modern Zionism. "We selected this picture for you because you are so interested in Zionism," his mother explained. ("From then on," Scholem commented decades later, "I left the house at Christmastime.")
This interest, in Arthur Scholem's view, had increasingly turned excessive and unreasonable. Gerhard had not only hurled himself into the study of Hebrew; he was entering, with the identical zeal he gave to Latin and German literature, the capacious universe of the Talmud, an oceanic compilation of interpretive Biblical commentaries. Every element of these ancient canonical texts attracted him: their ethical and jurisprudential preoccupations; the vitality, in equal measure, of their rational and imaginative insights; their famous dialogic and often dissenting discourse across the generations. Martin Buber's romanticized work and Heinrich Graetz's panoramic "History of the Jews" (both of which Scholem eventually took issue with) were the initial stimuli, but he went on to search out the Zionist theoreticians of the time, and anything in Judaica that a bibliomaniacal teen-age boy haunting secondhand bookshops could afford.
All this was too much for the elder Scholem, who paid dues, after all, to the vehemently anti-Zionist Central Association of German Citizens of the Jewish Faith. The faith might be tepidly Jewish; the primary allegiance—the unquestioned identity, both social and personal—was German. Arthur Scholem believed himself to be an established and accepted member of a stable society. No wonder "the discussions at our family table became heated," as Scholem wryly points out in "From Berlin to Jerusalem," his concise little memoir of 1977. But by then Gerhard had long since been transmuted into Gershom.
On that February morning in 1917, the family table was less heated than quietly tense. Arthur Scholem had made his preparations; he waited. The doorbell rang, heralding the arrival of a registered letter. It had been composed two nights earlier, and was addressed to Gerhard:
I have decided to cut off all support to you. Bear in mind the following: you have until the first of March to leave my house, and you will be forbidden to enter it again without my permission. On March first, I will transfer 100 marks to your account so that you will not be left without means. Anything more than this you cannot expect from me. . . . Whether I will agree to finance your further studies after the war depends upon your future behavior.
Your father, Arthur Scholem
The father could not fathom a young man opposed to a patriotic war. Having a prodigy on his hands bewildered him—a rebellious prodigy given to devouring Plato and Kant, uncommonly gifted in higher mathematics, and determined to add to this conceptual stew an unfashionable, unpredictable, altogether obstinate dedication to Jewish history and thought. And, beyond these perplexities, Arthur Scholem scarcely recognized what Gerhard, in choosing to become Gershom (the name of a son of the Biblical Moses), was crucially repudiating—and would continue to repudiate for the rest of his life. Despite the younger Scholem's ardent mastery of European culture, it was Europe, and Germany in particular, that he meant to renounce. His father's loyalties—the passionate love of the Vaterland that the majority of German Jews plainly felt—he could see only as self-deception. The Jews might be in love with Germany, but Germany was not in love with the Jews. To a Jewish friend who had professed "boundless adoration for German art, Goethe, and our contemporary Rudolf Borchardt," and who provocatively added, "I hate Martin Buber with all my heart," the nineteen-year-old Scholem responded with what he called "a tremendous intuition" for Judaism:
I confess that I've never had such a central relationship with any other thing; it has commanded my full attention from the time I began to work and think for myself (to wit, from the age of fourteen). The confrontation with German culture which presents so many Jews with such painful dilemmas has never been a problem for me. Nor has the absolutely un-Jewish atmosphere in my home been able to change this. I have never found or sought out values whose legitimacy was rooted in the German essence. Even the German language, which I speak, disappears for me completely when compared to Hebrew.

Great quality and easy to install! I have been using these for several years now and really like them!
Comfortable installation. Is reliable in work.
I was trying to find a cheaper replacement for the hot-rod I used on my last guitar, so I tried this. It's a good product but gluing with epoxy is tricky. Don't put too much especially near the nut - it can render the trussrod useless. Don't use too much glue. I also find it a bit hard to adjust and the groove is quite big (wide) compared to the hot-rod. I am afraid it can make the neck a little weak in the nut area. On the other hand it seems to add rigidity to the neck which is good.
put on old epiphone ft-570 bl perfect fit.
Really good quality. Done a lot of instruments with this one.
When I removed the fretboard of the DCME guitar I just repaired, I was concerned because it was shorter than the original. I called StewMac, and was told this is what Martin uses now. I called Martin and they verified this. Both Martin and StewMac told me it would be fine. I followed the directions to the letter, and let me tell you....I didnt want to return this guitar! The neck was like a hilly, twisted road and now its straight as an arrow and plays great! My customer is happy and all I can say is thank you once again StewMac for what you do. I have been a devout fan of yours and everything I have bought from you in more than ten years has been a great investment, true to the word perfect and priced well. Keep up the great work!!!
A worry free truss rod, and quite light. I was stuck for a moment thinking I didn't have a 7/16" router bit, until I realized I could simply use a 3/8" bit then move it over 1/16".......lol
I plan to buy another for a BassVI build soon
I can't think of a better truss rod design for us Europeans. All dimensions are in metrics, although it is described in imperials in description. All you need is a 12 mm router bit to route the channel, with around 11 mm depth. It is adjusted by 5 mm allen wrench, which can be found everywhere. The adjustment nut is made from a quality metal that will last forever and this is very important on a truss rod. I've used this on my Les Paul project and the neck turned out rock solid with a low, smooth action. I'm thinking of building a Strat now, and I will probably choose this rod for it as well.
Excellent anchor. With a good rigid structure. I plan to install on a thin neck.
Best and only truss rod for guitar you will ever need.

Summary of The Girl With Borrowed Wings Summary of The Girl With Borrowed Wings Reviews for The Girl With Borrowed Wings An Excerpt from The Girl With Borrowed Wings
A stunningly written tale of an isolated girl and the shape-shifting boy who shows her what freedom could be--if only she has the courage to take it
Controlled by her father and bound by desert, Frenenqer Paje's life is tediously the same, until a small act of rebellion explodes her world and she meets a boy, but not just a boy--a Free person, a winged person, a shape-shifter. He has everything Frenenqer doesn't. No family, no attachments, no rules. At night, he flies them to the far-flung places of their childhoods to retrace their pasts. But when the delicate balance of their friendship threatens to rupture into something more, Frenenqer must confront her isolation, her father, and her very sense of identity, breaking all the rules of her life to become free.
"A frankly spellbinding love story." — The New York Times
"Eye opening and inspiring" — The Los Angles Times
"The Girl With Borrowed Wings stands in a category of its own making. . . .Rossetti's style hearkens back to Margaret Atwood's literary prowess with humanity's frailties, edgy humor and limitless imagination. . . .Different, quirky, memorable for all the right reasons." — USA Todays Happy Ever After
"Infused with an urgent hope, this glimmering love story exhilarates and refreshes." — Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"Rossetti was a teenager when she wrote this novel, and her connection to the stifling constraints, torn emotions, and dazzling first tastes of freedom and power that are synonymous with coming-of-age make this first novel shine....[Frenenquer is] strong, willful, passionate, and quite funny, and watching her come into her own is thrilling. A breath of fresh air." — Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"A premise that's unique among the stacks of paranormal romances...Feels like a breeze in the desert." — Booklist (starred review)
"Exceptional in its originality and in the luminous, funny, elegant quality of its writing. Rossetti moves from quirky, intelligent banter between teens to descriptions of sunshine, landscapes, and bodies, evoking a sharp, clear sensuality....Rossetti raises the bar for current romantic fantasies." — The Horn Book
"Told in lush, beautiful language that explores the minutiae of expression and feeling of two lost souls, this novel will resonate with readers experiencing the first flush of desire and the confusion it brings." — School Library Journal
"As symbolic as it is magical: the possibilities presented by Sangris and his wings have the same sort of reckless freedom that often accompanies first love, heedless of the rules of the regular world." — BCCB

Neighborhoods: Arden - Arcade
Never had a bad meal – Actually I should say I have always had a great meal. Frankly this is the best restaurant in Sacramento. If you want a very reasonably priced meal and the best quality combined this is the place. Try the following...
1. Warm veggies on cool noodles
2. Any of the fish dishes especially the ahi and the catfish in a clay
3. Chicken in green curry sauce - ask to throw some tofu in
4. Shrimp crepes
5. Lamb
6. Crab when in season
They are now serving brown rice.
The prices are very reasonable.
BTW Mai's cookbook has all of her favorite recipes and they are easy to make.
great menu, the food was exceptional, ans served with flair. Do'nt come casually dressed, this is an upscale place, yet a vert freindly helpful staff if your not familiar with the menu – Don't worry about not being familiar with the food. The friendly staff will help you with your selection. A romantic place if your feel like getting dressed up for a night on the town
The absolute best – I love lemon grass. the food is incredible as is the service
Nationally renowned chef Mai Pham artfully presents mildly spiced Southeast Asian specialties to a casual, upscale crowd. – The Scene
Long skylights filter beams of light into the dining room, decorated with gold and periwinkle walls, freshly cut orchids and a gas-burning fireplace. Well-to-do executives and couples sit indoors at tables draped with white tablecloths or out on the wood patio. Service is professional, attentive and friendly.
The Food
The menu features a wide array of traditional Vietnamese and Thai dishes. Start off with the carpaccio appetizer, sprinkled with fried shallots and roasted peanuts that add crispness to the soft, raw beef. The pan-seared basa fish filets are stacked high like a cake and drizzled with juicy ginger-lime sauce. For a more assertive dish, the creamy Thai green curry exudes bold spices and hints of citrus. Be sure to save room for the dense, homemade ginger ice cream.

The richly flavored red braises characteristic of Chinese cooking make warming winter meals that can be adapted to a slow cooker. Typically, seasonings of anise, cinnamon and ginger distinguish these dishes. Pork shoulder becomes meltingly tender during the slow braise. Serve over noodles or brown rice, with stir-fried napa cabbage.

Wall Street pays bankers more to keep them from being unemployed
Chris Hondros/Getty Images
Andrew Ross Sorkin has a good column today on banker pay, which has declined as the fortunes of big Wall Street investment banks have turned south. However, he insists that we look to a more opaque metric: the compensation-to-revenue ratio.
For publicly traded banks, increased profits from rising revenue is supposed to be returned to shareholders. But as Sorkin notes, there's a battle between shareholders and employees for the pieces of that pie. When the revenue-to-compensation ratio is out of whack — well above 50 percent, for example — it indicates that employees are winning.
This becomes especially apparent when the economy is in a bearish mood and revenues are lower. The conventional wisdom says that this is no time to cut compensation at banks. Sorkin expresses some mild skepticism at this notion:

Focus on Youth with ImPACT
HIV is a preventable disease, and with education and awareness, the rates of infection can dramatically decrease. The Focus on Youth with ImPACT (Informed Parents and Children Together) project, a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention-funded initiative, educates children about the risks of unsafe sexual activity, and helps parents discuss sexual behavior and safe sex practices with their children. During the course of eight educational sessions, the Focus On Youth program teaches youth ages 12 - 15 the importance of respecting their values and morals, and the benefits of abstaining from early sexual activity. It also equips parents, through a mandatory adult educational curriculum, with the knowledge and communication tools necessary to keep their families healthy, and in the long run, to help stem the HIV epidemic. In FY 2011, 145 youth were enrolled in the Focus On Youth program; 110 of the youth graduated from the program attending at least 6 sessions.

Person of Interest Review: Girls Night Outby Sean McKenna at .
Call them Finch's Angels.
Sam Shaw, Joss Carter and Zoe Morgan had their time to shine on Person of Interest this week, as the bevy of beauties donned sexy club attire, excitedly compared weapons and left the boys to play backup. Nothing quite like a ladies night, right?
Using the femme fatale trio as bait on "Lady Killer," the Machine pulled up a number for a Boston playboy who teetered on the lines of stalker/killer and just plain overly attentive.
It was nice to see Warren Kole as the focus, especially since he's played a bad guy on Fox's The Following and a good guy on USA's short-lived Common Law. It wasn't easy to tell which way his character, Ian Murphy, would fall, although the ominous music played tried to convince viewers when he was holding a knife or following Carter.
Except the real truth was about familial lineage and social class. Murphy had a son and was tricked into believing the girl he loved had an abortion, all by the father who wanted an heir and not someone of the "low class."
Which made it fantastic when Reese was able to punch the social elite grandfather and it ultimately ended with a happy day for Murphy. Plus, there's a possibility of a Carter romance further down the line.
And I was glad that Carter was the one chosen out of the three at the club (loved Shaw's look when Murphy passed her by). It was nice to see Carter get a little more involved, reveal that she's still really a detective even if she's officially an officer and love isn't lost on her.
Shaw, on the other hand, while she acts like a bad ass (and is a great shot), does have a soft spot beneath that steely exterior. It just happens to be for the fuzziest of the group, Bear. Nice to see he got a huge bone and spiked collar.
It was good to see that all three women had vastly different personalities while all being strong characters in their own right. Although, it was funny when Reese pointed out that Shaw always looks "angry."
The return of Zoe was such a treat and her rapport with Reese feels so natural. She's never overused (but is that possible?), and she provides her own sexy charm to whatever is happening. Lucky Reese gets to walk her home.
While Finch, Reese and Fusco were more downplayed for the hour, they still had their humorous moments: Fusco hitting on the ladies in the club, Reese discussing his love life with Shaw and Finch telling Carter to dress as least conservative as possible. And even though it was fun to see the women in the limelight, I'm looking forward to watching Reese back at the forefront, getting to show off his combat skills again. Maybe even some more backstory for him as well.
But in classic Person of Interest fashion, the B story of Root in the psych ward weaved throughout the hour was just as important. Not only was the Machine continuing to aid the crazy chick (Amy Acker has that character down. Just the way she laughs, stares or tilts her head makes you not want to mess with her and at the same time can't help but want to watch every minute), but it was also preparing her escape.
Her shootout with the government agent sent to kill her was similar to the preciseness of Reese following the Machine's directions in last season's finale, "God Mode." She may not have killed anyone, but she is super lethal with that weapon. Is that progress?
And unleashing her back on the world? What a great start to another mystery surrounding the Machine. Just what is its end game?
Person of Interest Season 3 is continuing its slow build and rise as the episodes keep getting better, the characters are always charismatically delightful and entertaining, and saving the day like a group of superheroes is fun to watch. The next chapter of this series is just getting started.

Hey guys, while it's fun seeing all the "ladies" getting involved, let's get back to what has made this show so great. Reese and Finch. The way the season has started, the show moves too slow. Finch giving orders and Reese taking out the bad guys with the help of Carter and Fusco, that's what MADE THIS SHOW. Hopefully putting all the "ladies" in the early episodes as the writer said, is just setting up the season. The show with the "ladies" doing most of the work was fine for an episode or two, but their appearances periodically made them so much more appealing than running the show. A "Charlies Angels" is not what made this show great. Reese, Finch, Carter, Fusco and the occasional returns of all the "side" characters made it great. Hope someone is paying attention. Still, great episode, but let's get back what made this show the best on TV.
[i]When Shaw started with the cast,she annoyed me with the perpetual chip on the shoulder attitude. However, she has loss some of the tude and I love the banter between her and Reese. She works well with the rest of the team. I also appreciate that the women get to shoot people and be tough.[/i]
Thank you, I find it astonishing that Shaw was again bashed last episode, She was really funny last episode, finally she was able to open up with Reese, how quickly she jumped to share her gun with Carter and Zoe, its like she finally found a family, how can people overlook those aspect and just hate her for being hardcore most of the time. Really looking forward to her flashback episode and hoping that writers can finally fix things.
Only 1 flaw remains in POI that Mr. Reese has been sidelined far too long, really hoping he comes back to his form and give us some more kneecaps and gun fights :D
When Shaw started with the cast,she annoyed me with the perpetual chip on the shoulder attitude. However, she has loss some of the tude and I love the banter between her and Reese. She works well with the rest of the team. I also appreciate that the women get to shoot people and be tough.
I wouldn't mind a love relationship between Ian and Carter - that would be cute.
It's a true mystery what the writers are planning for Root and the Machine. I can't wait to see what's in store.
Have to agree with recent posts....get rid of Shaw, the character is ruining the storyline and the chemistry of the initial characters. To top it off, Sarah Shahi is not a particularly good actress, at least not as this character. Very awkward to watch, the chemistry is just not there and the character takes away screen time from the characters that do work. In the words of the great Fonzie....producers and writers of POI, stop the direction of this plot line before you jump the shark!

Melinda's Beauty Blog: Beating Your Winter Skin BluesPosted on 02/25/2014 by Melinda Shankar
You know and love Melinda Shankar as Alli Bhandari on Degrassi, but if you've followed her outside of the show, you've probably noticed she has a knack for style and beauty. We are so excited because Melinda has offered to share her image expertise with us in a brand-new beauty blog! Over the next few weeks, Melinda will periodically pop in to answer questions you sent us via Facebook and Twitter about hair, makeup, skincare and everything in between. She's taking to the blog to share all of her secrets, so stay tuned!
FAN QUESTION: What are some tips to beating winter skin? I'm always so dry and scaly feeling!
Winter winds can be harsh on our skin. The cold air dries it out and you can feel like you're braving non-stop skin issues until spring. One of my favourite (and inexpensive) cures is Petroleum jelly. It acts as lip balm, hair flyaway tamer, cuticle moisturizer, and treats wind burn. Not only is it a heavy source of moisture, but it's also instant relief for cracked skin. I wouldn't recommend slathering that on your face, however, as it has an oil base which can clog pores.
Drinking extra water is also key as hydration plays a big part in your skin. Too cold for water? Drink it hot! It'll double as warmth and comfort. Keeping a humidifier by your bed side at night can also help circulate moisture into the air, which, in turn, leaves your skin hydrated!
Hailing from Canada's capital, Ottawa, Melinda Shankar joined the cast of�Degrassi�in its eighth season as Sav Bhandari's little sister, Alli. Prior to this, she did runway and print modeling. Melinda's passion for beauty has led her to a new position as CEO of Miss Conception image consulting.
TeenNick Top 10 Fresh Artist Interview: New PoliticsPosted on 02/24/2014 by Rachel1016
If you thought Denmark's greatest gift to the United States was the country's delicious namesake puff pastry, then think again. New Politics are a three-piece band who burst on the scene after relocating from their hometown of Copenhagen to the artistic paradise of Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and have since won many international hearts! The Danish-bred lads serve a unique blend of pop-tinged punk, and their performances are full of energy, heart, and even acrobatics. Check out our exclusive Q&A with our brand-new Fresh Artist below!
1. You're originally from Copenhagen, Denmark, but have since relocated to Brooklyn, New York. Have any music influences traveled with you from Denmark to the States?
Yes. We are very influenced by American and British music, but we also have our own Scandinavian music that has influenced us, as well.
2. You're currently on the Harlem, USA Tour and will eventually gear up for the Monumentour this summer with Fall Out Boy and Paramore. What's the best part about being on tour?
Meeting all of awesome fans. And playing our music every night. Touring with other bands is always inspiring and keeps us working hard.
3. David, you incorporate break-dancing into a lot of your live shows, and it's featured in your video for "Harlem." How did you get into break-dancing? How has the break-dancing culture and/or Harlem influenced your sound?
I got into break-dancing as a kid with my friends in Copenhagen. I fell in love with it and never stopped. Dancing has always been a part of New Politics and, yes, I am heavily influenced by all dancing cultures. It was surreal visiting Harlem because it is one of the birth places if hip-hop.
4. What's the best and/or weirdest thing that's ever happened at a New Politics show?
There are so many crazy things that happen on the road. Pinpointing one thing is hard. But if we had to pick one the best moments was performing on Jimmy Fallon. It was so unreal being on that stage with Jimmy Fallon to the right of us and the Roots to the left. Mind blowing!
5. If you could collaborate with anyone, dead or alive, who would it be?
We all have different people we would love to collaborate with. A few of them would be John Lennon, Kurt Cobain or Elvis Presley.
And now, the rapid fire round! We asked New Politics a series of silly questions, and here's the first thing that came to their mind!
CHOCOLATE OR VANILLA: Vanilla
ALL-TIME FAVORITE SONG: Billy Jean
TATTOOS OR PIERCINGS: Tattoos
FAVORITE PLACE TO PLAY: Las Vegas
PRE-SHOW RITUAL: A good nights rest, and our dis-harmonic circle we do before we play.
ULTIMATE COLLABORATION: Dave Grohl, Pharell Williams, Max Martin
ZOMBIE OR VAMPIRE?: Zombie
WHO WOULD YOU WANT TO PLAY YOU IN MOVIE?: Will Ferrell
IF YOU COULD HAVE ONE SUPERPOWER, WHAT WOULD IT BE?: Flying
If you want to catch more of these guys, head over to the TeenNick Top 10 page! And don't forget to tune in this Friday at 10PM ET!
Melinda's Beauty Blog: The Secret To Simple Hairstyles!Posted on 02/20/2014 by Melinda Shankar
You know and love Melinda Shankar as Alli Bhandari on Degrassi, but if you've followed her outside of the show, you've probably noticed she has a knack for style and beauty.

FAN QUESTION: What is your best go-to hairstyle when you have no time to do something fancy or special to it? Do you have a favourite hair accessory that you cannot live without?
My life consists of attending many fun events, but a lot of the time I'm not given much notice. With little time to book a hair appointment, I've mastered the art of simple high fashion hair styles that never let me down!
One of my favourite hairstyles is a pin-straight, slicked-back high pony tail. Sounds way more complicated than it is. Start with brushing your hair out, straightening it much as possible and tie your hair up wherever you desire (I suggest fairly high on your head). Then, using an empty mascara wand, either drench it in hair spray or dip it in gel. Comb back any fly always and stray hairs until it's perfectly sleek! Tip: This sharp look paired with cheek contour/blush is amazing as a look!
My favourite hair accessory would definitely be my thin jewel studded head band. Its base is elastic, so it works with my hair down, in a ponytail, and over my head like a crown. The added bling jazzes up even the most simple hair style. Tip: Get two and wrap one around your arm twice as a bracelet.
The best part about personal image and fashion is that it's YOURS! Play around with different styles, bend all of the "rules" and make it your own.

'90s Are All That: Our Favorite Moments from 'CatDog!'Posted on 02/20/2014 by LauraMac
We all know cats have taken over the Internet without really trying, and dogs are...well, foolish. It's nice to see not much has changed since CatDog first aired on Nick. Check out our top five episodes with our favorite odd couple.
Cat loves his brother, Dog...but, yeesh, can't a guy get some time alone? When the conjoined bros decide to take some time apart, Cat learns to be careful what you wish for.
One of the best things about animation is ANYTHING can happen. This episode magically makes everyone in the world of CatDog lose their voices and suffer sudden colorblindness. Get ready for the ultimate #tbt -- the silent era of film and cartoons!
Dog is smart in this episode. No, really. He's actually smart.
We love Winslow. How can you not admire such a big, wiseguy personality in such a tiny mouse? Cat won't invite the little guy to his house party, though, so Winslow sets out to exact his revenge. Don't mess with the mouse.
For the obsessive Star Wars fan in all of us, this episode is a must-see. When CatDog literally get sucked into Dog's favorite sci-fi movie, Dog is hard-pressed to become an intergalactic hero. Fuddy-duddy Cat couldn't care less...until he falls in love with a space princess, which is kinda magnificent.
What are some of your favorite memories from CatDog? Share them with us in the comments!

Degrassi Recap: 'Power To The People'Posted on 02/19/2014 by Rachel1016
Degrassians! It's safe to say that no hyperbole in the English language could adequately describe the craziness that was last night's episode of Degrassi. Seriously, it was so epic you might as well have called it "The Degroddyesy." (We know. It's so bad, it's good.) If you haven't seen "Power To The People" yet, make sure to watch it online right here before reading our recap!
Drew enthusiastically began his volunteer position with Mr. Hollingsworth's campaign, but his new girlfriend, Zoe, was beginning to get in the way. She made unannounced appearances while Drew was on the job, talked about doing whatever she could to spend more time with him, and displayed a wee bit too much public affection in front of Mr. H.
Worried that Zoe's clinginess might put his job in jeopardy, Drew felt like he needed to break it off with Zoe completely. But when he tried to tell her he wouldn't have "time" for a relationship, he didn't make it clear to Zoe their (very brief) romance was officially over. He made a vague statement about how busy he would be with the campaign and she, understandably, didn't realize his words were, well, breakup words.
When Zoe showed up at Mr. H's campaign speech, an unknowingly not single Drew, became a little bit... well, confused? Agitated? Perturbed? All of the above? He tried to tell Zoe he did not want to be with her once and for all, and she was completely heartbroken. She reminded him that they slept together, which...
And she made it clear how dastardly it was of him to diminish what a HUGE deal sleeping together actually was.
Well, Drew got what was coming to him, as Zoe's fierce mother marched into the auditorium like a lioness protecting her baby cub and demanded to know why Drew thought it was acceptable to take her daughter's virginity and then proceed to drop her like a hot potato. Ms. Rivas let it all out in front of the school, and Drew was completely mortified.
After a brief meeting with Principal Simpson, Drew realized that he didn't think clearly about how his actions might have affected Zoe, and how sex is actually a huge deal, especially when it's someone's first time. Drew walked into school the next day, bouquet in hand, ready to apologize to Zoe, but it was going to take a lot more than flowers to make it up to her.
With a little guidance from his mom, Mrs. Torres, who poignantly explained how selfish and insensitive his actions were, Drew reflected on his behavior. He decided it was time to be a more thoughtful, compassionate guy. Now, let's see if he can really apologize to Zoe.
Imogen continued her dress code crusade this episode, but when she showed up to school dressed as a nun, it seemed like the movement was a little more spectacle and a little less progress.
Imogen was delighted to see other girls getting involved, but several of the freshmen took the protest as an opportunity to dress promiscuously.
Principal Simpson, however, was nun too pleased about the Niners chanting "Bra rules are for fools!" throughout the halls. So, he encouraged Imogen to turn her fire into a real opportunity for change, and Imogen took to amending the dress code!
As she and Becky began to brainstorm changes, they came to the realization that any dress code could, theoretically, infringe upon people's freedom. They came to the conclusion that dressing appropriately is all about intention: If you're trying to distract guys with a low-cut shirt, you're going to get in trouble. If you forget to wear a bra one day, you deserve a hall pass. Specific rules were out the window, and the new mission of the dress code was to respect the school and respect yourself. Amen, sister friend!
Alli asked Jenna to be her lab assistant, but Jenna was more concerned with Alli getting therapy to help her cope with the Leo debacle. Alli was all�
And she got annoyed with Jenna for insisting upon something she just wanted to put out of her mind. In Alli's eyes, science was supposed to an escape, and it was frustrating because she couldn't even do it as well as she used to. A few minutes of arguing with Jenna in the hall, and Alli's lab coat was in the trash.
But guess who fished it out for her?
Dallas sympathized with Alli over losing something important to him (he got kicked off the ice hockey team, remember?) and helped her realize that it wasn't like her to give up so easily. He even offered to be her lab assistant, but under one condition: They couldn't talk about anything "personal."
Iiiiintersting. Does this mean Dallas has personal feelings to not talk about?
I mean, he did ask Drew for advice on "unrequited love for a science nerd."
That's about it for this week, Degrassians! Tell us what you thought about the episode in the comments below!
'90s Are All That: Our Favorite Clips From 'Are You Afraid Of The Dark?'Posted on 02/14/2014 by Rachel1016
Submitted for the approval of the Midnight Society, we call this story "Our Favorite Clips From 'Are You Afraid Of The Dark?'"
A spoiled rich kid and his babysitter set off to his aunt's house. Melissa Joan Hart guest stars in this spooky tale that begins the way all great ghost stories do: with mysterious footprints in the mud.
When Melissa's friend Susan mysteriously disappears, she finds out that she's been turned into a porcelain doll. They're both trapped in the dollhouse and unsure whether or not the curse can be reversed. Excuse us while we put our childhood toys back in their boxes…
As if we need to explain why clowns are actually the scariest things on earth, when Josh bets he can steal the nose of Zeebo the Clown, the creepy jester goes after him. A-DUH!
Honestly, is there anything less appealing than an old hospital at night? After volunteering for the night shift, Amanda learns there's a vampire on the loose, and proceeds to confirm our fear that never needed to be confirmed in the first place.
Ghost children, pleading messages, and blood-curdling screams are standard AYAOTD fare. The writing's on the wall. Literally!

FAN QUESTION: Do you have any solutions for freshening up after gym class? I always just put my hair in a ponytail but it's getting very boring.
Growing up heavily involved in extracurricular physical activity, I'd often have a workout before school. Having the time to wash your hair isn't always easy, especially when hurrying off to an early morning class! Depending on the occasion, you can:
1. Create alternate options for your hairstyle: You can try braids, a half up / half down style, or clipping your hair up to create a small poof!
2. Accessories: Pull your hair back with headbands, clips, cute fashionable hats (if it's not against your school's dress code) or clip in hair extensions to create volume!
3. Dry shampoo: One of my key products to freshen up my hair when needed, the aerosol spray consists of fine, non-coloured oil-absorbing powders. Spray it in, leave for about 30 seconds, flip your head upside down, shake your hair out by massaging your scalp lightly, brush your hair - et voil�! A quick fix for sweaty hair!

Degrassi Recap: 'Dig Me Out'Posted on 02/12/2014 by Rachel1016
Last night's episode of Degrassi was all about taking things to the next level. Drew and Zoe got closer (much closer), Imogen started a girl-power protest, and Alli began to feel like her old self. If you haven't seen "Dig Me Out" yet, make sure to watch it online right here before reading our recap!
After two painful episodes, Alli finally was able to begin the healing process. She started to get back on her own two feet, both regaining her independence and focusing on her old love, science. But now that Leo's behind her, there was one thought we all couldn't help but think: Maybe, just maybe, she'll finally give Dallas a chance.
Take this moment, for instance: As Alli was trying to open her locker with one arm in a sling, Dallas stopped in the hall to help her out. She insisted that she had it under control, but let us shamelessly over-analyze her look of longing as he walked away:
I mean, don't get us wrong, we are thrilled that Alli is "so over boys," and we think it's important for her to embrace her independence and love herself for a while. But you know what they say… one dreamy stare is worth a thousand words. (Yeah, yeah, we know they don't say that.)
While Alli was contemplating her feelings (or lack thereof), Imogen was busy getting dismissed from class for forgetting to wear a bra. According to Madame Jean-Aux, her wardrobe was "distracting" to the other students, which, in translation, means that Luke Baker and a few other boys in the class couldn't be mature enough to not make fun of her unsupported lady parts. Come on, the girl was just running a little late!
Imogen was humiliated, so she told Simpson that there was no specific language in the dress code about wearing (or not wearing) a particular undergarment. She made an excellent point and, although Simpson referred to "community standards" for appropriate dress, Imogen thought the reasons for her dismissal were unclear, unfair, and sexist.
Imogen decided to use Degrassi TV to protest the preposterous dress code violation. She told Simpson that he would never have to question whether or not she was wearing a bra again and, man oh man, did she keep her word.
A handful of other girls joined the movement by wearing their bras over their shirts, and before we knew it, the halls of Degrassi turned into some sort of amazing feminist tacky day. Imogen's bravery totally deserved a round of applause, but we probably could have guessed that Simpson's reaction was going to be a little less "BRA-VO!" (pun 100% intended) and a little more "I'm taking away your broadcast privileges."
But Imogen's fight wasn't over! She decided that if she couldn't make her voice heard on-air, she'd do it online. And thus, she made an "Anti-Degrassi Dress Code" FaceRange page. So the battle continues…
Hot off the heels of their first official date, Zoe and Drew started getting closer. Serious make-out sessions between class and Zoe getting Drew to ditch his poker game with Connor, Dallas and Clare for a party, would suggest that they were in an offish relationship. Drew insisted they were not.
Later on at the party, Miles nearly humiliated Zoe by saying she wasn't invited. So Zoe, trying save face in front of her frenemies, introduced Drew as her boyfriend.
Drew eventually confessed to Zoe that he didn't want anything serious. And at first she was disappointed, but then she said that they should just keep having fun, and there was no need to label it. Drew liked the sound of that.
But then they took a big step that neither of them will ever be able to take back: Zoe and Drew went all the way. And when Zoe crashed the rescheduled poker game the next day, it was clear the whole "let's keep it casual" thing was officially chucked out the window. Final bets were placed, and Zoe said…
When Drew realized that his odds weren't looking so good, he decided to be straight with Zoe. But before he could cut ties, Zoe dropped a bomb on him: Their one time together, was her first time.
In order to not hurt her feelings, Drew decided they should change their FaceRange status to "In A Relationship." And even though it might have seemed like the noble thing to do, it was pretty clear where Drew's heart was. (Like, somewhere very far away. Maybe Egypt). What do you think? Was he a knight in shining armor? Or making way for an even bigger disaster?

'90s Are All That: Our Favorite Clips From 'Rugrats!'Posted on 02/07/2014 by Rachel1016
Never underestimate what lies inside a child's mind! Tommy, Chuckie, Angelica and the gang might may have barely had their baby teeth, but they taught us that the simplest of things can become the greatest of journeys. Check out some of our favorite Rugrats memories below, then share yours in the comments!
Aw man, Grandpa Boris and the babies are trapped in the attic on Passover. To pass the time, Boris tells the story of the story of Moses, in which Angelica fittingly imagines herself as the Pharaoh who oppressed the Hebrews. Pharaoh Angelica sits pretty on her throne, but it's not too long after she's showered with cupcakes and Rockstar Cynthia dolls that Moses demands, "LET MY BABIES GO!" And that's why Passover is so important.
Chuckie finds an old photo of his mom, who passed away sometime ago. Despite his pop's hesitation to share memories with Chuckie, he opens up about the mom his son never got to know. He shares a moving poem that Chuckie's mom wrote for little Chuckie, and we share a good cry with our computer screen.
How 'Reptar On Ice' never became a real, beloved, skating spectacular, we will never know. I mean, is there anything more touching than the love between a woman and a dinosaur?
There's no business like show business! Phil and Lil are off to become big baby diaper stars, but it appears the twins are having trouble really sharpening their craft. That, or they're just babies.
Tommy decides to illustrate his life in a home movie, and even though some some might consider a magnificently squiggly mess, it's really bonafide artistic masterpiece.
Holy horse feathers, the play ground is turning into the Wild Wild West! Tommy and Chuckie are the new cowboys in town, and Junk Food Kid is a total scalawag (who actually makes Angelica look like a saint). When Tommy decides that someone needs to teach this Junk Food Kid a lesson, he stands up for kid-kind, saves the school playground, and restores all that shines!
When Rugrats see a giant pool of water, they don't think pool, they think giant toilet. And since nothing is more fun than flushing toilets, the baby sinkers mount the diving board (which they mistake for the handle flusher) and launch all the parents into MAJOR panic mode.
It was only a matter of time before Stu's crazy inventions got him in trouble... When he falls and hits his head, mild amnesia leads Stu to believe he's a baby! And Tommy and the gang realize that Stu has "growed down" into the biggest baby "they ever sawed."
Everyone knows that Angelica is a big bully and a liar, but after believing her own fib about the sky falling, the group prepares for the End of the World. And we don't know about you, but if regular Angelica sounds bad, post-apocalyptic Angelica sounds pretttty miserable.
Meet Susie Carmichael! She just moved in next door, and she's really excited to show Tommy her new room. Only problem is, she can't quite find it in the house�
